"Ah..." This sudden comeback without any warning made Zanze a little dumbfounded. She turned around slowly, her eyes full of confusion and doubt: "...Why?"

"Why so many whys? I just said what I thought."

"...You are really an unpredictable person."

Zanze looked up at his face with eyes that were as usual, not knowing what she was thinking and without emotion. Finally, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her eyes became much softer: "But I don't hate it."

After saying that, she turned around again, and slowly walked into her own courtyard under Ash's gaze.

The guard at the door came forward to greet her, and she turned around again in a silent way, nodded slightly to Ash to thank her, and then really stepped into the courtyard and disappeared behind the door.

But when she looked up, she unfortunately met her mother's energetic eyes.

She was in a good mood, but suddenly became depressed... because her mother, after looking at her, quickly cast her eyes to Ash who was not far away, so she could basically predict the conversation that might happen later.

When Ash noticed the presence of Zanze's mother, he just responded with a gentle smile and waved, and then quickly left the scene.

..............................

The moment Zanze stepped into the hall, he saw the expected scene.

The noble lady who rushed downstairs in a hurry - her mother, was waiting for her return with great expectation, especially when the topic turned to Ash, the eagerness was beyond words.

"Zanze, you came back with Lord Ash today, what did you do? Why didn't you invite him in for a cup of tea? This is so rude."

The mother's smile hid the unspoken deep meaning, which made Zanze sigh in his heart again.

She knew that the atmosphere at home had quietly changed since she accidentally revealed the lord's attitude towards Ash.

In this world with clear class distinctions, although magicians have extraordinary power, they still lack sufficient status in front of the nobles.

But she is different from normal magicians. She is also a junior sister who Ash takes good care of, which makes her status here unusual.

Even the local lord, the earl, showed an unusual attitude towards her family when he learned about her relationship with Ash.

All of this stems from the relationship between her and Ash, which seems simple... but should not be complicated.

But even Zanze, a core member of the Magic Association, realized that Ash seemed to be more than a magician when she saw the earl being respectful to Ash at the scene when the Magic Association was rebuilt more than ten years ago.

Who is Lord Ash? .... Is he a prince? ——This doubt has been lingering in Zanze's mind for a long time. She has wanted to ask several times, but Ash obviously doesn't intend to say it, and Zanze doesn't care too much.

Even though she was curious about Ash's identity, it did not hinder their relationship. At least she would appear when Ash appeared. She just felt comfortable and reassured to be by his side. But...

The family members did not think so. After all, her father found that the lord's attitude towards him was different after Ash came to her house. As a noble, his father had asked indirectly, but was warned not to ask.

But under this situation, her parents hoped to reach a marriage or something. After all, who doesn't want to move up?

In addition, her age made her parents very anxious. Ash was a perfect match for her, so they naturally wanted to promote this relationship.....

But think about it, right? Who would be interested in someone like me? Lord Ash must have just treated me as a child. Facing his mother who kept asking about the progress, Zanze squinted at the French window next to him. He was as small as a child and had caused Ash to be misunderstood. He sighed silently for the nth time today.

Ash has only been back for one day, but now she feels that...she has sighed more than in the past year.

..............................

..............................

Before going home, Ash couldn't help but feel envious when looking at the mansion of the Zanz family.

Although he has more money and more properties, the wealthy nobles in the area obviously don't have as many troubles as he does, and can eat, drink and have fun happily every day.

"....If I fail, maybe it's a good choice to join Zanz."

He looked at the brightly lit noble mansion, sighed a little, and the thought was replaced by a self-deprecating smile, and turned around without any nostalgia and really left here.

After all, when the plan really unfolds, will Zanz really be alive? ——This is a big problem, even the people I know...will probably be the same as before, and only Fulilian and Celia may be left.

"However, if in their memory, I am just an ordinary good person, this is not a bad ending, after all..."

The moonlight is like water, quietly sprinkled on Ash's face, reflecting his complex expression;

He looked up at the sky, staring at the unchanging bright moonlight, and whispered his biggest secret: "——I am not a human being."

To be honest, thinking about his identity again, he regretted the words he had said to Zanze before.

Although he really likes playing with his little animal-like juniors, but... the passage of time may be just a passing cloud for him, but for Zanze, it is an irresistible countdown to life.

So...is it really okay to continue like this?

"But since we are all planning to provide for Philan in his retirement, and now there is just one more person who needs to say goodbye, it doesn't seem to be a big problem?"

No, surely that shouldn't be the case? ——He just gave the solution to himself, but shook his head in denial in his heart.

But in the end there was no good conclusion, so he gave up worrying about these problems and decided to muddle through and leave the problems to the future.

............................

The familiar doorstep.

Since the door lock had been broken by him before, and a new one had been replaced at this moment, Ash naturally had no choice but to climb over the wall to get in.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, the sight before him made his eyes light up.

On the ground that had been ravaged by the wind, the remains of yellow mud, sand and fallen leaves were gone, replaced by a clean and fresh one.

The vegetation in the courtyard seemed to have been carefully cared for. They no longer grew wantonly, but were neatly pruned, giving them a completely new look. They were completely different from the previous messy ones, which made him feel like he was gone. Wrong door.

But before he could say anything, a familiar figure broke into his sight.

The girl who looked like a lively puppy, Kang Ni, was walking out of the house carrying a bucket. Her face and clothes were dirty, and she really looked like a puppy running around.

When the two people's eyes met in the air, Kang Ni was slightly startled for a moment, then put down the bucket in his hand and walked quickly towards Ash, with dissatisfaction and anger written on his face:

"——Look, your home is in such a mess! You are still fooling around outside until now?! Are you embarrassed to come back now that it's almost done?"

Hearing this, Ash couldn't help but joked: "When you say that, it seems like I have become an irresponsible husband."

"Ha, ha!? What are you misunderstanding?! Who would marry an uncle like you! After all, what I hate the most is an adult like you! Even if - Wow?!"

He just made a simple joke, and Kang Ni was so excited that he stamped his feet and retorted angrily with all his strength.

But she was still controlling her, and the water flying out of the bucket to clean the wall suddenly lost control and splashed all over her, causing her to turn into a drowned rat in shock.

But Ya Xiu just glanced at the wet temptation of this unexpectedly beautiful girl in front of him, but he didn't avoid suspicion or anything, and he spread his hands and said:

"I wanted to say it from the very beginning. Although I am indeed an uncle, I would still be a little hurt if I was called out like this in front of my face."

.......

.....

...

(PS: I can’t finish writing, so let’s stop here today…)

The Buried Fulian·The Journey Officially Begins: Chapter 25: Frilian’s Shield·The Beginning of the Exam·Friends and Relatives “Rebellion”?

Ash's overly open gaze, even though he was looking at his wet self, did not have that strange sense of intention. He even... was still sharing his feelings with himself, which made Kangye feel relieved. , full of displeasure again:

"——Is now the time to talk about this?!"

"Which is more serious, physical coldness or spiritual coldness??"

"Who wants to know how your uncle feels?"

Faced with Ya Xiu's plausible defense, Kang Ni clutched her chest with both hands, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes showed shame, anger, and unwillingness. If it weren't for the disparity in strength, she would have been unable to hold back her impulse and wanted to compete with him.

As for Ash, although he didn't care about the child, he couldn't help being amused by her appearance. He gently flexed his fingers, flicked her wet belly, and said with a smile: "You are really a child with no manners at all, but still Well, I am a kind-hearted uncle, otherwise you would be in trouble now, thank you!"

"Ah~!? - Fei, Feilun~~~!!" Cony shrank in shame and anger, and simply squatted on the ground and shouted loudly.

This startled him, and he took a step back reflexively, feeling at a loss and saying:

"Wait a minute! Are you a primary school student?! You actually call your parents when something happens? Ah, no!...You actually call someone! Show off a little bit of the spirit of a magician and have a one-on-one duel or something! After all, I just want to get some revenge, and I haven’t really done anything to you yet!”

"If I really did something to you, it would be too late!"

"I'm not that kind of person! After all, I..." Before he could finish speaking, the familiar purple-haired girl rushed out of the room.

"——What happened... Hey?" Looking at his wet and pitiful friend who was crouching down, and then at Ash next to him, the expression on Fearon's face froze in an instant, and then turned Looking at Ash with an almost cold look:

"....Master Ash, do you have anything to explain?"

"It's not my fault, it's the kid's fault!" Ash quickly organized his words in his mind, trying to shirk responsibility: "--I didn't splash the water, and she just kept saying I was an uncle. As a small 'revenge' for her calling me uncle, I just flicked her belly lightly, isn't that too much!?"

"......If what you said is true, that kind of behavior is generally called sexual... harassment."

"But this guy called me an uncle several times! I just flicked my belly, which is definitely self-defense and within the legal range."

"...But uncle is a fact, right?" Philen stared at him expressionlessly and gave an objective answer coldly.

"Philen... I didn't expect that your 37-degree mouth could say such cold and ruthless words~!"

He covered his chest as if he was stabbed by an invisible sword, and while blaming with heart-wrenching grief, he turned his head to look at Fulilian, who had just walked out and sat on the swing, intending to watch the fun: "... Can you lend me your chest? I want to cry for a while?"

"Of course not, don't draw the fire to me." Fulilian looked bothered, and it seemed that she really wanted to draw a line with him on the spot, but her hands were still peeling melon seeds.

"... Why are you so cold too?"

"I just don't want to be dragged into the water."

"Speaking of which, what do you think of my home?"

"Hmm? Your home? It's smaller than you imagined, right? But it looks too ordinary, not like you at all."

"What do you think my home should be like?"

"A weird fortress?"

......

Under Ash's deliberate guidance, the topic of the two people deviated from the original question at an alarming speed.

He calmly put his arm around Fulilian's shoulders and pulled her up, and walked towards the room happily together. However...

Just when the two were about to pass by Fellen, Fellen silently raised his hand to block their way, and said expressionlessly:

"Master Ash, do you think this is the first day I met you? Or... am I some kind of idiot who is easy to fool?"

"... Is it really not possible?"

Under the cold gaze of the girl, he couldn't help but sighed for a long time, and then pulled Fulilian in front of him and used her as a front armor.

He even took the opportunity to put his hands on Fulilian's shoulders to fix her, put his chin on her head, and said seriously:

"--If you want to say something about me so much, just say something about Fulilian!"

"... Why do you want to drag me into the water..." Although Fulilian didn't struggle, her face was drooping, and she put on a helpless expression.

Philen was even more depressed: "....Why did you resist to this extent this time?"

"Because I don't think I'm wrong. After all, Philen, who called me an uncle, should apologize to me."

"Why are you like a child?"

"I just want to say no to unfair treatment, and I also pulled in an ally!" As he spoke, he also took Fulilian's hand and raised her hand directly for Fulilian.

This made Fulilian's mouth twitch slightly. For a moment, she didn't know how to condemn this kind of tough behavior that would drag her down completely.

".....You are still saying that now, as if I am wrong? Obviously I haven't said anything about you, and even when we are working, you are secretly meeting with others...!" Philen immediately puffed up her cheeks like an angry pufferfish, and pouted angrily: "-Enough! I will never care about Master Ash's affairs again~!"

As she said this, she angrily pulled Connie up and left here quickly, leaving the two alone in the courtyard.

..............................

..............................

The courtyard suddenly became quiet.

After a while, Fulilian, who was used as a front armor by him, sighed softly, raised her head sharply and looked at the culprit behind her and said:

"...Why do you want to pull me?"

"It's too lonely to be alone. I hope you can accompany me to spend the hard time."

"To be honest, Ash, this is not the first time I feel that you are terribly selfish."
